* You can buy smaller components instead of the complete novel unit for The Corn Raid but this resource contains materials, such as teacher pages for each chapter and also tests, that are not available in the smaller products. Please see the links below for the smaller individual resources that are available.

* The novel itself is not included in the resource and will need to be purchased separately.

For every chapter, a page for teachers includes a synopsis of the chapter and a description of the activities for the chapter, with the student materials following the teacher page. There are worksheets, folded paper projects, organizers, games, and task card activities for students to do in addition to reading the novel. Rubrics or answer keys are provided for almost every activity.

In addition, there are word search and crossword puzzles for additional vocabulary practice. There are 4 word searches and 4 crossword puzzles, all with answer keys. The word search puzzles are divided so they can easily be used as reviews before giving the chapter tests. The crossword puzzles are organized in the same way so they can be used for review, too.

My students and I loved this book! It is suitable for English Language Learners at an intermediate level of proficiency and up, and other students are sure to enjoy it, too.

Take a trip back in time with this novel study and become friends with Richard and Weetoppin!
